Edit: nevermind, they are in fact affiliated, and most of the core VLC devs work at VideoLabs. I've kept the original comment below.

This blog post links to the "VideoLab Store", hosted at https://videolabs.io, which prominently uses a logo extremely similar but not identical to the VLC (which stands for VideoLAN, not VideoLab) logo. Their homepage even goes as far as displaying "Hire the VLC team" as its headline.

As far as I'm aware, VideoLab has nothing to do with the VideoLAN non-profit, and it very much seems like they are intentionally trying to mislead people into thinking that they are the developers of VLC.
